Character
Many a man’s reputation would not know his character if they met on the street. (Elbert Hubbard, 19th-20th century American writer)
Is it possible that a person’s character might be quite different from what he thinks is his reputation? Is it possible that our behavior makes people think of us in a way that is so different from what we really are? Surely, it should be our purpose to live in such a way that our conduct reflects the qualities of a noble character.
Solomon wrote the biblical Proverbs: “for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair” (Proverbs 1:3).
